El Paso Song

A half smile and a glance

Let's me know you know I'm leaving

I've watched you wait and dance

For the best part of the evening

You skipped past once or twice

So close I heard you humming

And 'plied my favorite vice

Well darling just you keep it coming

Most of my heart has been claimed

And what's left is mostly maimed

But the tiny part that feels alright

Fell in love with you tonight

I'm sure I was looking cool

And I'm sure you would've thought that too, had I

Not spluttered out like a fool

When you were giving me the glad eye

I had planned to ask your name

And say my final cheery oh o

But all I could proclaim

Was donde esta el servedior

My heart's been conquered and tamed

Frozen and roasted and framed

And if it can be where it should be

Just let me know then where it could be

But that cheeky sideways glance you threw

Is probably just what you'd do

When you are so relieved to see

The back of a past lech like me
